What is a safe following distance for motorcycles in South Carolina?

When driving behind a motorcycle in South Carolina, you should keep

the same following distance as you would for a car. It does not hurt to give extra distance for a motorcycle, considering the fact that a rear-end accident for a motorcycle can cause greater damage and injury than it would with a car. Along the same lines, if a motoryclist is driving behind you, you should be very cautious about breakingsuddenly.This action could cause the motorcyclist to hit you and be ejected from his motorcycle, which would result in great bodily injury. By being more aware of motorcycles on the road, you have the potential to prevent a deadly accident from happening. In order to be the best driver or rider that you can be, familiarize yourself with South Carolina motorcycle laws.
